Registration Steps, 2017-18

Registration for returning athletes.

You will already have your Teamsnap account and will have been moved to the appropriate team as necessary. You’ll need to complete all the paper work before you’ll be allowed back in a boat. You will receive email regarding paying your registration contribution.

Trying out the sport:

Berkeley High Students interested in joining the team should attend our Novice Team Meeting on Wednesday, September 6 at 4:00 PM at the Jacket Stadium Bleachers.

When you have registered, you’ll be added to the team roster, and you will receive all team communications.

Varisty Teamsnap signup.

If you are new to the team but have previous crew experience and are joining the Varsity team, (with the coaches permission) please speak with the coaches about how to register.

TeamSnap is used to manage team rosters so it is important that the rower/coxswain register with their own email address and password. Returning rowers will already be in the system from previous years and will be move to the appropriate team by the coaches if necessary.

2. Teamsnap for parents:

TeamSnap is used for all communications and the team calendar so it is very important that a parent has their email address as part of their rower/coxswain’s teamsnap profile. This can be done in one of two ways. The way the team uses Teamsnap, it doesn’t much matter which way you choose, as long at both parents and rower/coxswains are getting the email notifications and have access to the team calendar. To add the parent email, either

Add a parent email address to the student’s account and make sure the parent knows the user/password for the account

or

From within the student account, the parent can be ‘invited’ to ‘share access’. Done this way, the parent can have their own log-in to the same account.

3. Berkeley High School Athletic Packet

For 2017-18 the Berkeley High School Athletic Department has moved to an online system for completing Athletic Packets. Visit the Athletic Department’s web site here for more information. You will need to upload and completed physical (you can also submit the physical in person).

Once their Packets are approved, student-athletes will need to stop by the Athletic Department to receive a yellow card which indicates they are authorized to participate. This card should then be turned in to the relevant Crew Coach (Men’s/Women’s, Varsity/Novice).

4. Swim Test

The Berkeley High Crew Swim Test form is available from the Forms page. Swimming tests can be obtained at the MLK School Pool or a pool of your choice. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to arrange for the athlete’s swimming tests by calling the facility and scheduling a day and time. If you’ve submitted this as part of a BHS crew camp during the summer, you don’t need to submit it again.

SUBMIT: Once the swim test has been signed by a lifeguard, turn it in to your Berkeley High Crew Coach.
